Oh, Paula. Long ago we agreed to disagree about pretty much everything. I'm not ashamed to admit that I love vegging out in front of the Food Network. I'll even fess up to clogging our DVR with episodes of The Barefoot Contessa, Giada at Home, and even (gulp) The Pioneer Woman. But you and I have ...
Improved Maple Leaf Cocktail
I can't believe it's been almost five years since I wrote my first cookbook! I'm so proud of it, but sometimes I wish I could go back and tweak some of the recipes. One of the things I've quickly come to love about blogging is how alive this site feels. It's always growing and changing, and nothing ...
No Bake Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Crumb Bars
You guys, vegan desserts are HARD. In the past couple of weeks, I've made a polenta cake, sea salt brownies, pecan squares, raspberry pudding, and two previous renditions of these apple crumb bars, all of which I deemed not good enough. Fortunately, Alex's coworkers were more than happy to take the ...
Cranberry Lime Rickeys
I have a confession to make: there was a brief period of time in my early 20's when I lied and told everyone I met that I was from Rhode Island. I had recently quit my job, moved to Brooklyn, dyed my hair just shy of black, and gone back to school to become a Serious Writer. Rhode Island, while not ...
Refrigerator Brussels Sprout Pickles
The first real dinner party I ever threw was definitely a learning experience. I went totally overboard and made about a million different hors d'ouevres. I can't remember them all, but I think there was a fig and olive tapenade, some type of bruschetta, a huge cheese and charcuterie platter, ...
Corn Soup with Coconut-Lime Cream
I had grand plans for today's recipe, but Owen was sick all last week and this past weekend. So instead of a big, fancy Thanksgiving-type dish, I have this quick and simple 10-minute corn soup. I don't mean to sound negative! It's actually really delicious, and kind of perfect for a rainy Monday the ...
Ina’s Apple Chutney
When I was twenty two and working at my first job as an editorial assistant in the cookbook division of a big publishing house, I used to come home every day and flop on the couch with a bag of soy chips, a jar of salsa, and a glass of wine and turn on The Barefoot Contessa. My roommate's boyfriend ...
Butternut Squash Rounds with Hazelnut-Apple Gremolata
I lived in Brooklyn for seven years, and Manhattan for three years before that. In all those 10 years, I grilled exactly one time. Alex and I borrowed our friend Sarah's tiny portable grill and set it up behind our building. It worked great, but the experience was a bit lacking. Instead of sipping ...
Green Beans with Sriracha and Orange Marmalade
If you ask anyone in my family about their Thanksgiving memories, they are sure to bring up the time my mom drained a huge pot of boiling green beans over her bare hand. Even she isn't certain exactly how it happened. The colander was in the sink, she went to pour the beans in, and... missed. She ...
Almond Butter Hot Chocolate
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate my new mug? I got it at Marshall's last weekend for $3.99. Alex hates it (at least I didn't buy a whole set, honey!), but I'm completely obsessed. I might never drink coffee out of anything else. Aside from the obvious (gold, owl) this mug is huge. You ...
